Applies layered n-tier architecture with enforced boundaries. Use when designing moderate systems needing clear presentation, domain, and persistence layers.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# The Layered (N-Tier) Architecture Paradigm ## When to Employ This Paradigm - When teams need clear architectural boundaries and a familiar structure for moderate-sized systems. - When compliance or operations teams require clear separation of concerns (e.g., UI vs. domain logic vs. persistence). - When the deployment artifact remains a monolith, but code clarity and separation are degrading. ## When NOT To Use This Paradigm - When high scalability demands require independent scaling of components - When multiple teams need independent deployment cycles - When complex business logic requires frequent cross-layer communication - When microservices architecture is already planned or in place - When real-time processing requirements make layered communication too slow ## Adoption Steps 1. **Define the Layers**: Establish a clear set of layers. A common stack includes: Presentation -> Application/Service -> Domain -> Data Access. 2. **Enforce Dependency Direction**: Code in a given layer may only depend on the layer immediately below it. Forbid any "upward" dependencies or imports. …

How to install
mdr add athola/claude-night-market/architecture-paradigm-layered@sha256:cd568cd0a7308eccThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.ad5ceb4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
